The Hollies - would you believe album cover | |||||||||||||||
Would You Believe? is an album by the Hollies, released in 1966. It features a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock," which displayed progression for the band at the time-the rising folk-rock nascent was on the horizon. However, Would You Believe also features a cover of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen"-by 1966, R&B and blues covers were becoming passe.
Another sign of growth for the band on Would You Believe includes the Chip Taylor cover "I Can't Let Go," a major hit for the band. The band-written songs are also considered to be among the more progressive tunes on the album: "Hard Hard Year," "Oriental Sadness," "Fifi the Flea," and "I've Got a Way of My Own." "Fifi," covered by the Everly Brothers, had lyrics outside of the band's norm; "Oriental Sadness" featured distinctly Asian-sounding chords; and "Hard Hard Year" and "I've Got A Way Of My Own" (which had previously appeared on the B-Side of "If I Needed Someone") are both folky sounding waltzes. Track listing: 1. "I Take What I Want" 2. "Hard Hard Year" 3. "That's How Strong My Love Is" 4. "Sweet Little Sixteen" 5. "Oriental Sadness" 6. "I Am a Rock" 7. "Take Your Time" 8. "Don't You Ever Care?" 9. "Fifi the Flea" 10. "Stewball" 11. "I've Got a Way of My Own" 12. "I Can't Let Go" | |||||||||||||||
